This school year will be unlike any other. These resources can help you as you discuss racism and police violence, support your students through coronavirus and routinely practice self-care. They can also help you show up for your students—and yourself—whether you’re working remotely or in person.

So much has happened this year, so we want to acknowledge our new Teaching Tolerance community members. We have compiled some of our favorite resources for educators as we work together to achieve more equitable schools. Whether you’ve been with us for a while or you’re brand new to TT, welcome! We appreciate you and all you do.

Teaching Tolerance’s new streaming classroom film, Bibi, is a story about the intersection of family, identity and belonging. As TT Senior Writer Cory Collins writes, Bibi explores “the beauty and conflict that can arise as we move between languages, places and societal expectations.” Help students explore their identities with this moving film and accompanying lessons for grades 6-12.

July is Disability Pride Month, coinciding with the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. These resources can help you celebrate, support and advocate for students with disabilities by rejecting ableism—this month and throughout the school year.

Today we celebrate the lives and work of Rep. John Lewis and the Rev. C.T. Vivian. We’re eternally grateful for their lifelong, courageous activism. As we remember these leaders’ relentless pursuit of equality, we hope educators will join us in continuing to work for justice and liberation for all. And we hope young people will join us in holding Representative Lewis, the Rev. Vivian and other change makers as models for who we can be when we decide to make “good trouble.”
